i dont know how you could be impressed with that campus they have that tunnel with profanity written all over it and call it art. Mediocre fan base with a mediocre team.....the only thing i can think of is they are telling him they can make him Russell Wilson.

I don't see how espn doesn't realize how much they suck at recruiting.

This kid is a perfect example of that. Everyone else has him at a low 90's ranking and in the middle of the top 10 for his position. Espn has him as 16th best dtqb and only a 79 ranking. And we're not even in his top 10 according to them.

ESPN do their grading different from 24/7sports. An 80 grade for ESPN is the same as a 90-grade for 247sports, and is needed for both to give a 4th star. So 247sports has Nunez as a low 4*, while ESPN has him as a high 3*. Not that big of a difference. It's all subjective opinion....

Actually, his coach made one of the dumbest decisions in college football that year. Wilson played baseball and the coach gave the qb job to another kid because of Wilson's choice. NC St. had a bad year. Wilson led Wisconsin to a great year and the NC St. coach was fired after the season.

On 24/7 he has almost a 92 rating on espn its a 79. The way they do that part might be different but everywhere else also has him as a mid top 10 QB. Espn has him down at 16.

ESPN is looking for ratings.They are always going to promote the big name programs first.
It creates more viewership.

this is very true. I can see this being the reason he goes there instead of SC. He's a good talent and would likely see PT quickly. Whereas we are a bit backed up in the QB position (not complaining at all).

QB Lorenzo Nunez of Kennesaw, GA is pointing towards a decision in a couple of weeks during his spring practice and is considering USC, NC State, Ohio State, Tennessee and Miami as he works on making the final call.
Nunez visited NC State last weekend in what was his final visit before the decision. He talks weekly with USC recruiter GA Mangus. Mangus visited the school last Monday and Nunez is expecting him at his spring practice next Monday or Tuesday. Nunez sees a few positives for him with the Gamecocks.
“The offense fits me right and I like the campus and the atmosphere,” said Nunez adding that he doesn’t have a leader at this point among his final five but that NC State has recruited him the hardest.
As he considers his options, Nunez said there are few factors he’s weighing.
“The relationship between me and the coaching staff,” he said. “The school and the environment outside of school since you’re not going to be there the whole time. And the students that you came with and the education.”
Nunez passed for 1148 yards and 5 touchdowns and rushed for 786 yards and 7 touchdowns last season.

USC has missed out on one of it’s top quarterback targets for 2015 in Brandon Wimbush of Jersey City, NJ. He announced today that he is down to Penn State, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston College and will disclose his choice Tuesday night.
The Gamecocks other top quarterback target for 2015, Lorenzo Nunez of Kennesaw, GA, said tonight he plans to make his decision Thursday or Friday of this week. He is down to USC, NC State and Ohio State and all three are in still in it despite reports of this being a Gamecock-Wolfpack battle.
“It’s not just the two, that’s not tr
ue, I like all three,” Nunez said. “I know NC State and South Carolina both have a lot of interest in me. And Ohio State has a lot of interest in me.” Nunez added he still has Miami and Tennessee on his mind but they trail the other three schools.
USC recruiter GA Mangus plans to visit Nunez Thursday or Friday of this week. The two talked on Sunday.
“He talked about how me he liked me and he told me he was coming down to visit by practices and watch me throw and run around.”
Mangus will need to be up with the chickens. Nunez said his team is practicing at 5:00 AM because the soccer team has the field in the afternoon. Nunez said he planned to talk with his recruiters from NC State and Ohio State Monday night.
As of Monday night, Nunez has not made his decision. “It’s very tight between the three,” he said. “Me and my dad talk about it constantly and we’ll keep talking about it the next few days.”
His plan for announcing his decision is to go on TV show produced within his school and then put the word out on Twitter. He said he’s pointing towards the end of this week though he knows he can delay things if he’s not able to make a decision by then.

JC Shurburtt had some very detailed information tonight on Nunez and a number of other players. Long story short, after speaking with NC State people, SC coaches and Nunez family members, he and the SC people would be absolutely shocked if he doesn't pick Carolina and soon. The main reason is the family has a very good comfort level with Magnus and SOS. As some of you know, Wimbush picked PSU tonight. JC said he talked with a college coach who said Nunez and Wimbush were almost equal but Wimbush had a slightly better arm.

FWIW, I had breakfast with a buddy in Kennesaw and he says that Lorenzo's family are really nice folks. He believes Lorenzo is a Gamecock. The sad thing is there was a lot of negative recruiting against us by both NC State and Ohio State, according to my buddy. One tried to tell him we are on probation and this would be spurrier's last year. I don't think we are on probation anymore. Spurrier ain't leaving anytime soon.

Just got off probation. Spurrier said he will be here as long as he wants to be here (rumor is he will stay through Connor Mitch's career)
